All matches between Croatian teams in IHL are designated with both, an IHL number and Croatian championship number just like previous season. The placement of Croatian teams from IHL to Croatian playoff solely depends upon their placement in the overall IHL standings, just like the previous season.

The difference is that teams from Zagreb no longer play against Sisak in the "regular Croatian season" so there was no need to maintain even unofficial standings with IHL teams and Sisak like it was done last season. This season, Croatian teams are divided into A group that plays in IHL and B group that comprises Sisak and Mamut from Delnice. Winner of B group will take 4th place for the Playoff semifinals.

I heard, with accent on heard, rumors from very close source to HK Sisak, that they have plans to join IHL for next season ? What do you think how realistic is that ?

I did not hear any rumours but what I did hear were the opinions of some people "in the know" that Sisak should apply for International Hockey League because it is the best way to keep hockey in the news and attract people to the matches and kids to practice hockey. Surely, Sisak is far from been competitive so the club is in the need of sponsors who would pay for imports (I believe the max number is six) and attract some players from Zagreb willing to try something new.

The Ice Hall is not finished though. It is not closed from all sides and I heard that board would have to be replaced for international matches. I guess the participation in IHL is likely to push the city to invest money to finish the hall so that it could host IIHF events as well.
